He composed himself and focused on his work. By the time he finished get off work, it was already past five o'clock. He glanced at his watch, guessing that Jiang Hua had probably already gone home. He shook his head and drove home. The key turned, the door opened, and he smelled the aroma of food. His anger towards Jiang Hua subsided considerably, but he decided he still wanted to get his interest back, so he put on a cold face and remained silent.
"Oh, honey, you're back! You haven't eaten yet, have you? I've already made dinner, just waiting for you. Look, I made all your favorite dishes!" Jiang Hua flattered him, looking exactly like a eunuch in the old palace trying to please the emperor. She was also a little guilty, after all, today was the first time she had tricked Gu Yiming. She didn't know how this heartless Gu Yiming would deal with her. If she didn't flatter him, she was sure Gu Yiming would devour her whole. Waaah...
Seeing Jiang Hua's ingratiating expression, a smile flashed in Gu Yiming's eyes, but he didn't show it on his face. After all, he hadn't gotten his revenge yet. He'd teach her a lesson and see if she dared to act so arrogantly again. Seeing Gu Yiming lower his head and remain silent, Jiang Hua became extremely anxious. "Honey, come and try my cooking," she said, putting food on Gu Yiming's plate.
After much coaxing, Gu Yiming's expression finally softened a bit. He ate the food Jiang Hua had prepared. "Phew, finally appeased! I'll never cause myself trouble again," Jiang Hua thought to herself. After they both showered, Jiang Hua's eyes sparkled with desire. Her body, supple as a twig, gracefully spun around and slipped to Gu Yiming's side. She grabbed his wrist and planted a kiss on his cheek. "Are you setting me on a whim?" Gu Yiming's eyes deepened. He pulled Jiang Hua, embracing her as they fell onto the bed…
The early morning sun streamed through the French windows into the room. Gu Yiming, having finished tidying everything up, looked at Jiang Hua, who was still lazing in bed. "Still not up, you little lazybones," he said, his tone light and cheerful after the pleasure. Gu Yiming had thoroughly "served" Jiang Hua last night. "You still dare to say that? If it weren't for you, would I be sore all over now?" Jiang Hua threw a pillow at Gu Yiming and complained.
Jiang Hua almost cried yesterday, but Gu Yiming still wouldn't let her go, so she didn't want to get up today. "Heartless Gu Yiming, waaaah!" Jiang Hua covered her face with her pillow and cried. Gu Yiming didn't pay attention to her because he knew Jiang Hua was definitely faking it. She had used this trick countless times, and he was already immune to it.
Seeing Gu Yiming looking at her with a smile, she knew that faking her tears was useless, so she stood up, pointed at Gu Yiming, and said "bad guy" before puffing up her cheeks and refusing to speak.
"Do you want me to be even more wicked for you?" he said, transforming into a wolf-like figure, though Gu Yiming was only trying to scare Jiang Hua. Seeing this, she pulled the blanket tighter around herself, covering herself in fear.
"Haha, you coward, are you that scared?" Gu Yiming laughed without a shred of sympathy. Jiang Hua pretended to hit him, and a sly smile flashed across Gu Yiming's face, which Jiang Hua, in her anger, didn't see. "Let's discuss something," Gu Yiming's pleasant voice tempted Jiang Hua. Although she found Gu Yiming's voice very seductive, she still refrained from pouncing on him. "What is it? I feel like you have ulterior motives," the mischievous girl said warily, knowing that he never did anything that would lose money, and someone was bound to be the one to suffer.
"Let's change your bodyguards. These bodyguards all look like greenhorns. How can they protect you properly?" His tone was so sincere, and his eyes were full of doting as he looked at Jiang Hua. Who would think that Gu Yiming was just trying to get rid of the handsome bodyguards?
Jiang Hua chuckled. So that's what Gu Yiming was planning. If she didn't know Gu Yiming well, she might have actually believed him that he had replaced the bodyguards. She was sure that Gu Yiming just didn't like her handsome bodyguards and wanted to replace them!
"Impossible, I will absolutely not replace them, so give up on that idea." Jiang Hua righteously rejected Gu Yiming's suggestion, refusing to let his scheme succeed.
Helpless, Gu Yiming looked at Jiang Hua, who was becoming increasingly clever under his guidance, and had no choice but to give up. "Fine, that's settled then," he said through gritted teeth, giving Jiang Hua a resentful look.
Seeing that he no longer cared about her bodyguard, she felt a sense of victory and flashed her bright white teeth. "That's right, why bother changing bodyguards? It's such a hassle." Jiang Hua would never admit that she didn't change bodyguards just to see handsome guys.
"By the way, isn't your new drama about to be released? Why hasn't the promotion started yet?" Gu Yiming asked Jiang Hua. She didn't seem to care at all, saying that the company's schedule was still being prepared and that the promotion should start next week. "At that time, I'd appreciate it if Mr. Gu could help me promote it too," Jiang Hua said with a smile.
Gu Yiming patted Jiang Hua's hair, gave her a captivating smile, and nodded, indicating he would definitely promote her drama. Gu Yiming knew that Jiang Shiwan's new drama was scheduled to air at the same time as Jiang Hua's, but since Jiang Shiwan's new drama had already started its promotion, it was obvious that Jiang Shiwan was promoting it so early to try and outdo Jiang Hua in popularity.
Gu Yiming frowned. Jiang Shiwan really wanted to compete with Jiang Hua in everything. She always wanted to prove that she was better than Jiang Hua. But in Gu Yiming's eyes, Jiang Hua already existed. Gu Yiming could only laugh at Jiang Shiwan's petty actions. Did she really think Jiang Hua was easy to bully? It was just a new drama, and she was promoting and releasing it earlier than Jiang Hua, just to attract the audience's attention first and compete with Jiang Hua for popularity.
Gu Yiming had been secretly promoting Jiang Hua's new drama for a long time, but he hadn't told Jiang Hua because he didn't want her to be angry because of Jiang Shiwan.
Because Jiang Shiwan and Jiang Hua belong to the same media company, as sister dramas, the press conferences for Jiang Hua's "Nan Liang Xian Chen" and Jiang Shiwan's "Passing Through Your Heart" were held at the same time.
If they weren't both from the same media company, Jiang Hua would never want to meet Jiang Shiwan, as everyone knew they were at odds. But she had no choice; for the sake of her new drama, she had to appear alongside Jiang Shiwan.
Backstage at the press conference, Jiang Hua was getting her makeup done, preparing to look her best for the upcoming event. After all, she had put a lot of effort into this new drama and couldn't let it flop.
As Jiang Hua was thinking this, suddenly, a voice came, "Oh my, little sister, you're here! Today is the day of our new drama press conference. Let's see who's stronger!" She covered her mouth and laughed. Although she looked pale, her pitiful appearance made people feel sorry for her.
